Assessment tool for identifying falls risk in elderly patients admitted to hospital or other 24h healthcare institutions. This version of the tool is based on a modified Norwegian translation, which has been deployed by the The Norwegian Patient Safety Programme.

Use

To be used for risk assessment of all patients over the age of 65 and other adults with neurological or cognitive conditions or significant visual impairment, within 24h of being admitted to a healtchare institution.
The dataelements 'Transfer' and 'Mobility' under the cluster 'Transfer + Mobility' was in the original STRATIFY collected from the Barthel ADL Index. As STRATIFY and Barthel has diverged, is this archetype made independent of the Barthel archetype.
The final score can either be calculated manually (entered by the clinician) or automatically (automatic calculation based on the values recorded).

Purpose

For screening for falls risk in patients over 65 years of age, and other adults with neurological or cognitive conditions or significant visual impairment.
